Judge David Davis.

The elephantine David Davis was judge Of
an Illinois circI,it court when his old crony,
Abraham Lincoln, called him to the supreme
court of the United States, in 1862. There
never was more just or popular nisi prius
Judge than David Davis. He did not enforce
the most rigid rules of order in his court, but
saw that everything was done with propriety,
with which he did not think little humor
now and then at all incompatible. He often
questioned witnesses himself, and was very
severe on those who tried to prevaricate.
"Man,r said he once to witness who had
long avoided replying TO questions as to his
feelings towards party, "man, you know
you hate the defendant; why don't you say
so, say so, say so, and stop your lyingP A
young man of desperate character had been
convicted of robbing and cruelty treating an
aged man. The Judges manner in sentencing
him was absolutely terrible, and he closed by
sending him "for seven years to the Illinois
legislaturel" He directed the clerk, his atten-
ton being called to the slip of the tongue, to
correct it on the record. During his long
career ON the circuit bench very few of his
decisions were reversed by the higher courts,
and on the bench of the supreme court of the
United States he won laurels Jurist-Ben:

He Rose to the occasion.

The greatest argument against kings
is that when the king hasn't got his
crown and his insignia you can't tell
him from anybody else, and if YOU put
a millionaire behind bar, even by ac-
cident, people will come in and demand
cocktails of him, and probably tell him
to hurry up, AS thirsty people who want
to get along TO the next saloon usually
do. But | have never heard Of any
such mistake SO neatly turned as at
big party few weeks ago. A foreign
gentleman. while engaged in foraging
for plate for lady he had taken in to
supper. came on man with plate in
his hand. looking at it in an aimless
way. He thought he was a lazy waiter
Give me that plate, please.
The austere figure turned and gazed
upon him silently.
Give me that plate waiter
There was no sign. 1t began to dawn
upon the guest that he was mistaken
and finally be recognized in the figure
a we'll known millionaire, who was ap-
parently bent on the same errand- ANY
plain American would have tainted.
The foreign gentleman was equal to the
occasion.
Pardon me. sir. I did not recog-
nize you. and we are both dressed 50
like the waters that the mistake might
have as easily been yours as mine.1-

An Improver of Land.

1t cannos be expected that clover viii re-

SOIL Land must be in condition to brino

sowed upon it to advantage. Afterward
In Judicious rotation, i win improve the
soil rapidly. 1t does this in two ways nv
the decay OF its large taproot and by its
absorbing ammonia rapidly from the at
mosphere. The cheapest manure that we
can use after land has been put in proper
condition is clover seed. At the north
clover IS biennial; at the south il lasts
Ior several years. After clover has fairly
gone to seed at the south, if a short rora-
tion is adopted, it will not be necessary
70 sow 1t again. For instance, in the fol-
lowing rotations; First, cotton or corn:
second, oats; third, wheat; the clover
Will spring spontaneously among the
wheat The ground should remain two
years in clover and the rotation then be
repeated. Land thus treated will improve
without further expenditure of manures.

Deep plowing should be confined to rich

while shallow plowing is best for thin
soils, and should be done in the spring,
leaving the middle course for medium
soils.

Our Unmarried Daughters.

Thomas Hughes says there is pecu-

which il takes a man or boy long to
find out, but | doubt, saws a writer in
the Philadelphia Press. if there is wo-
man who from baDyhood has not recog-
niZed that charm. Let us then think
with more consideration than has been
our wont of those women who have
never taken upon themselves the pleas
ures and cares of welded life. but whose
lives nave been given up to others far
more than have those of the majority of
their welded sisters.
One such woman has charge of a
household whose inmates are an invalid
mother. a feeble grandmother, and
bachelor brother. She makes the home
happy for them. and with what return
for this sacrifice of her girlhood? What
are her privileges? She can not order
a dinner exactly to suit herself or have
it served according to her own ideas,
and 10 change the hour of a meal or
ask friend in without first holding q
family consultation would be consider
ed high treason.
1t is possible that even mothers are q
little too selfish and exacting toward
their unmarried daughters There is
widow with three unmarried daughters
of uncertain age" 1t would be de-
cided convenience to the musician of
the family if the piano could be moved
to another part of the room. She
speaks to her mother about it. The re-
ply is: Il see no reason, Envy. why it
should be moved; it has no trials and
difficulties to overcome" and of them
it is required that they shall be always
cheerful and amiable
There is another family with one un-
married daughter still at home. She
does much of the housekeeping and the
family sewing. but her recreation. that
she loves above all else. Is her palette
and brush; and yet even her time Is not
her own. She has not one uninter-
rupted hour during the day. Patiently
day after day she puts aside her canvas
to fit on mothers dress or sew ln faith
er's buttons or see that the spare room
is made ready for mothers friends, and
day after day and week after week the
work she longed to do has had to be
put of till some future time, which never
